My daughter found Akita puppies online...something about the story was too familiar...and I started reading her correspondence with this man "LARRY POTTER"...a few years back we were looking for an Akita puppy...and YES this was a man I had dealt with before....I knew it was a scam at that time...and just ignored him, and found a reputable breeder...well the puppy we purchased at that time...has passed on due to medical issues...my point is.......I now have this man "giving" his Akita puppies to my daughter for FREE we just PAY the courier service....I am interested in toying with this man...because quite frankly it pisses me off that people unaware would and will fall for this malarky...any help in doing so would help. I know he;s a fake because the name is the EXACT same as I dealt with 3 years ago...same "location"..I have tracked IP to Belarus......I want this person to be shamed for what they are doing...He said his Akita pups are JAPANESE....I insisted on pictures (just to keep the charade up) and he sent me pictures of American Akitas....lol, only an Akita person will get the humor of that..I was looking for American Akita, but he had no idea I had a preference...and possibly has NO idea there is a difference ....I have the emails exchanged....the very "generic" emails from him I must add...too good to be true...it usually is!
His email address is -From: Larry Potter <[email protected]>
I have him now wiggling with the unknown as it's the longest time between messages when I said...when can I come SEE THEM....(Oregon is a long drive, but I would make it! :o) )

What you're proposing to do is called scam baiting armymomjenn, and there's no problem doing that but you should do so safely and it would be best if you joined our sister site 419eater.com which is their speciality and they can point out a few precautions you should take first.

CAR ADVERTS - If a car seller mentions escrow - he's scamming you Never ever for any reason pay anything until you have seen and inspected the vehicle
